About This Property
The Stebel House, circa 1961. The late maverick Architect Harry
Gesner, a true Southern California icon, created this unique
Architectural expression in a by-gone era. Engineering mastery is
on display with a beamed and bolted X-frame structure as foundation
for a dramatic A-frame rafter design soaring 20ft high downstairs
and a striking 18ft upstairs. Towering gables give the appearance
of roof and walls as one. Strategically placed triangular windows
allow natural light to flood in while highlighting the perfectly
framed idyllic canyon and treetop views from every window.
Completing his theme is a triangulated bonus room featuring
clerestory windows nodding to classic midcentury modern aesthetics
and design. Curvilinear walls are subtly incorporated in the dining
room, kitchen and bar. A curved staircase separates the kitchen and
bar, leading to the primary bedroom retreat upstairs, where it
intrinsically emerges from the floor. In 2012, Gesner stated that
he "still considers it to be one of the best houses of his career".
The sunken living room is a crowd pleaser, lending a laid back vibe
to the space, while evoking a time when people entertained in
style. The epicenter bar/music booth, rock gardens, tower fireplace
and breathtaking views from the floor to ceiling window round out
this surreal setting. Main level layout includes the great room
flanked with one bedroom, a quarter bath and a full bathroom (was a
Jack and Jill). Bedroom two on this level is staged as a cozy
family/screening room, plus a flex space currently used as an
office. Opposing end is a timeless kitchen with stainless steel
appliances that opens to a fabulous period correct dining room.
Through sliding glass doors to the backyard there's a covered
dining and bbq area. A world away and a great escape from city
life. The awe-inspiring primary suite features an entire floor with
a full bath, large dressing/extended wardrobe area, charming
office/sitting area and a comfortable perch above the staircase to
enjoy reading a book from your own floor to ceiling library.
Outdoor balconies with expansive views on both ends to allow proper
enjoyment of So-Cal's year round indoor/outdoor elevated living.
Gesner called the larger south-facing balcony "the breakfast deck."
Cherished by the same family from new until stewardship was
graciously passed on to the current owners a few years back.
Through their tenure, the expansive lot - just shy of a half acre-
has had functional service upgrades as well as being professionally
landscaped to further extrapolate usability and a serene, park-like
setting (swing included) with multiple vistas. Nature abounds with
a variety of native plants and mature trees. The interior and
exteriors have had tasteful renovation, upgrades and restoration
work to retain as much originality, integrity and character with
respect to the original vision. A rare blue-chip investment
opportunity in 90049 to live in and enjoy as-is, add to your
portfolio as a high-end rental, or take to the next level, creating
the trophy home of your dreams. Published: "Houses of The Sundown
Sea; The Architectural Vision of Harry Gesner". Watch Video~:-)
